Smithy was still in a bad mood but was trying to stay calm for the little girl hanging onto his arm. She hadn't said a word since she had screamed for her mum but was instead crying silently getting the side of his t-shirt wet.
They were currently walking up the stairwell in part of the Jasmine Allen estate which was not improving Smithy's mood. The only thing worse he thought, about getting abducted in broad daylight was being a copper and getting abducted in broad daylight then being taken to a place he knew like the back of his hand. He kept thinking about making a run for it, he hadn't let his fitness slip since he had left the army and he knew the walls of the stairwell would offer some cover from the gun, but then he kept remembering the child; he couldn't leave her.
'In here' the gunman gestured towards a door half way along the floor they were on. Smithy belatedly realised he didn't know what floor it was, he had been preoccupied with his thoughts and with trying not to trip over the girl.
Once inside the flat they were manoeuvred into a side room littered with takeaways and dirty clothes, the only furniture in the room was a small table and chair set.
'Look mate,' Smithy thought it was about time he owned up to who he was. He had no idea why they had been abducted. It didn't seem a typical grand theft auto. 'My name is Inspector Smith; I work at Sun Hill police station. I am advising you to let us go and we can say no more about it yeah?'
The yob froze staring at Smithy, 'you're a copper, fuck, fuck this.'
'Look mate' Smithy interrupted.
'Shut up, let me think. Oh God why the fuck does you have to be a copper. Sit down, there.' He gestured towards the dirty, scratched radiator. He searched through the mess of belongings around the room before turning around triumphantly holding a length of cord. He walked over to Smithy, tying his hands in front of him to the radiator piping. The yob looked at the girl then turned and walked out of the room. He obviously didn't see her as a threat.
He could use that later, thought Smithy. The only good thing, he mused, was that he wasn't restrained with his own handcuffs which was a first. Then remembered the situation he and Kerry had gotten into with the Radcliffes; yeah ok that didn't necessarily mean he was better off. He went through in his mind what to do in a hostage situation. He needed to find out the guys name.
Speaking of names he turned to the little girl huddled in the corner. 'Hey seeing as how you've made my t-shirt all wet, you gonna tell me your name?' The girl just looked at him wide eyed.
'Alright, fairs fair, you don't tell me your name, I don't tell you my secret name.' He shifted, trying to comfy.
'Secret name?' It was barely more than a whisper but Smithy smiled, he was making progress.
'Yeah, what all my friends call me. I told the guy in the other room I was called Inspector Smith. You heard that right?' A nod, 'well that's just the name I put on any work I do. My friends call me Smithy, you can call me Smithy if you want.'
She smiled up at him and shifted closer, 'my name's Hannah' she said.
Trying to think of something to do Smithy asked her what she thought the yob's name was.
'Percy,' came her quick reply.
'Percy?'
'Yes, cus Percy is a pig's name and that man is a pig. See,' she pointed at the dirty clothes and takeaways, 'he's dirty and messy.'
Smithy laughed, 'how old are you?'
'Eight in twelve days'
'Twelve days? Quite grown up aren't you!'
'You said you were a police man.'
'Yeah, I am.'
'But you aren't wearing a hat, and you don't have a walky talky.' She frowned at him.
'Ah, you see I was on my way to work. My hat is in a locker at work.'
'Oh.' Silence resumed. Next door they could hear what sounded like a phone conversation. Not long after that the door opened and three figures stepped through.
